Pros

Good pay and good stock RSUs.

Cons

DEI content encompasses 15-25% of Engineering All Hands meetings. Atmosphere is hostile to any beliefs different than their majority liberal ideology, even if you just stayed silent. Very exclusive and intolerant. They also culture an environment of victimhood, everyone is offended and a victim of something here.

Pros

Solid developer experience and onboarding experience. Great ability to focus on heads-down work with minimal meetings for lower-level ICs. Good perks (lunch, snacks/coffee, etc). Pay is competitive and I feel well-compensated for my skills and work

Cons

3 days mandatory in office; if you need more flexibility or ability to go remote, this is not common (but possible in theory).
